Combining Function & Style with Kitchen Window Treatments
Whether you’ve just purchased your first home, are building your dream home, or renovating your current dwelling, the constant is that you need stylish yet practical kitchen window treatments. Don’t know where to start? Many people don’t, and that’s where we step in! We’ll give you the information you need to make a decision and choose the perfect window coverings for your kitchen.
Things to Consider
The first item on your to-do list should be identifying the issues you’d like your window coverings to address. This will help you decide which features will be necessary for your ideal treatments. Are your windows in a spot where they will be in contact with water, steam, or food splatter? If your answer is “yes,” you’ll want a window treatment that’s easy to clean and water-resistant. EverWood® Alternative Wood Blinds or Designer Roller Shades would be an excellent choice. Both options are easily cleaned with soap and water and won’t warp from heat or humidity exposure.
Other factors to consider include the accessibility of the windows. Will you be able to reach the window treatments to adjust them? Safety is another crucial factor. If you have young children or pets in your home, cordless shades or blinds are the safest options. An additional item to think about is the mount of the window coverings. Will you want an inside or outside mount? Now that we’ve covered the practical portion of choosing window treatments, let’s explore the available stylish options.
Roman Shades
Vignette® Modern Roman Shades are an easy way to bring color into an all-white or neutral-toned kitchen. The clean, classic lines of Roman shades add a softness to any room’s aesthetic. Vignette® Roman shades are available in a vast selection of colors, patterns, and fabrics. When selecting Roman shades for your kitchen, keep in mind they are made of fabric and are susceptible to stains, grease spots, and cooking odors.
Woven Wood Shades
Provenance® Woven Wood Shades will bring character to your kitchen without upstaging the rest of the room. The natural look adds texture and visual interest while maintaining a neutral feel. Grease and food splatter is not as problematic with woven wood shades, but moisture can still cause damage. You can also use woven wood window treatments to introduce contrast to your kitchen. Pair a lighter shade with dark cabinetry and stainless-steel appliances or a darker tone shade with lighter kitchen elements. Provenance® shades are handcrafted using rapidly renewing materials, including grasses, bamboo, woods, and more, so you can rest easy knowing that your purchase hasn’t harmed the environment.
Roller Shades
Designer Roller Shades make vinyl look better than it ever has before. It’s a breeze to clean and less likely to develop stains or hold cooking odors. Roller shades are ideal for contemporary decor or for those who enjoy clean lines and straightforward design. The size of roller shades complements smaller windows very well. The shades do not take up a significant amount of space when raised or lowered.
Faux Wood Shutters
The classic style of shutters makes an upscale statement in your kitchen. Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Shutters and NewStyle® Hybrid Shutters are both ideal for kitchen placement. They resist moisture damage and stains, are easy to clean. Be sure to consider the placement of your window and appliances before deciding on shutters. A high faucet or large appliance may prevent your shutters from opening. An added benefit of shutters is that they’re always cordless and so are safer for children.
